Leaving Lafayette on Evangeline

Struck by a mental-ray and sure fell fine

Talkin' 'about a man back in 1963

His mysterious source got a hold on me

Gotta do what's right now no turnin' back

It's a soul-force my self-respect

Put on ma biscuit-colored-suit and ma silver Pompadour

Carry courage, hope and vision, gonna walk thru that righteous door

The children got to boogie, and yall see me boogie too

Down on REVOLUTION AVENUE

REVOLUTION AVENUE

REVOLUTION .................AVENUE

Ain't gonna deal with the shuffle no mo'- no!

My feet are tired but I got a rested soul

Keep Coretta good company

'Cause her man's got lost between the devil and the deep blue sea

Gotta rock with Levon gotta roll with Mac

It's our soul-force, honey our self-respect, yeah

Put on ma biscuit-colored-suit and ma silver Pompadour

Carry courage, hope and vision, gonna walk the righteous door

The children got to boogie, and we all needs to boogie too

Down on REVOLUTION AVENUE

REVOLUTION AVENUE

REVOLUTION .................AVENUE

(We gotta boogie, we gotta boogie........Songdogs....)
